Note the wording of the invitation above—the party was open to anyone with a $20 bill in their hand, a bit like the polling-place of the future. Delacourt notes:

@macdonaldfraser I got the invite to that party. I didn’t get the “if you did a story that makes us look bad” caveat. Not subtle.

Indeed. All in all, pretty odd, defensive behaviour from a crowd of Cons whose collective response to Roboscam thus far has been “it wuzn’t me.” And also a prime example of the innate thuggishness of those who share that ideology.
